The clinical outcomes of 33 canine eyes following the novel sulcus fixation technique of an injectable acrylic lens through a 3-mm corneal incision.

Purpose: This retrospective study introduces and evaluates transscleral fixation using a horizontal mattress suture of a conventional injectable acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) inserted through a 3-mm corneal incision in dogs.

Materials And Methods: This technique was applied to four groups: lens subluxation (group SL, n = 15), anterior or posterior lens luxation (group APLL, n = 9), lens capsule tear or rupture (group LCTR, n = 7), and dislocation of the lens capsule containing an IOL (group IOLD, n = 4).

Results: Patients were followed up for an average of 366.

Unilateral blindness presumed as sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome (SARDS) in one Dachshund and four Maltese dogs.

Objective: To describe blindness, initially presenting as a unilateral condition and diagnosed as sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome (SARDS).

Animals Studied: One Dachshund and four Maltese dogs presented with unilateral blindness, for which the results of general ophthalmic examinations were insufficient to explain the blindness. All dogs were spayed females.
